Blogpost # 1000

This is my 1000th post on Holt Press 2. What a shame it's so unexciting!I've been blogging for a little over 4 years.I have "countless"readers, by which I mean, each time I count them, there are less.I originally posted on "Holt Press" but was unable to transfer my original posts when I made the change to the newer version of Blogger a couple of years ago.You can go back and reminisce about the good old blog days here.My success at computer repair appears shortlived! I seem to have a virus that wants to install large quantities of mystery stuff and has caused my anti-virus software to run away and hide! The joys....Sport Boy survived his footy debut, and according to Mrs Holt Press he loved it.

Everyone wants to see the Mighty Cats!Seeing as we're talking football, here's another Dennis Commetti quote:Matthew Carr and brother Josh played for Fremantle and Port Adelaide respectively and both wear the number 9.
